This week I read Book I in the Odyssey. All summer I had been wanting to read it, so I started reading right away.
In the begining there was alot of talking from various gods. It wasn't very interesting. Until I got to the part with Telemachus, almost nothing but talking was happening. During the first page I thought the book was boring. After that it was very good.
There was a lot of things in the house of Ulysses that would not be in a normal house today. Apparently he was a very rich man. I'm wondering if Telemachus will get the suitors to leave peacefuly. Will the suitors obey, or fight his wishes? I'm thinking there will be more of a fight between the men. It may just be with words.
It was also interesting that Telemachus found out that it was actualy Minerva who came to see him than some old man. I can't wait to start Book 2!
Lol your blog looks almost exactly like mine! Anyways, I agree with your thoughts: I've wanted to read the whole thing forever as well. =) I wonder if there really will be a big fight--guess we'll have to find out, won't we?
ReplyDeleteThat is weird, I just liked the backround! I don't think so very much anymore, maybe when he gets back?
